What role does creativity play in your health journey?

Creativity has been my main tool for relief and release ever since I could remember. When my thoughts felt trapped, I found freedom through a pencil, pen, or by typing at 2 a.m. I learned how to make bead bracelets and stickers with affirmations and quotes to move my hands and release the anxious energy that made me feel hopeless or out of control.

I’m grateful for the people I’ve been able to share my creativity with, and for the connections I’ve made through self-expression and vulnerability. To me, love and creativity feel very much the same.

✨ How do you use creativity in your health journey? What role does it play for you?

Secure Attachment

Every time something like my Mom getting cancer or my best friend in the world avoids me happens, I stop taking care of myself. This week at therapy, did some work, and now practicing to put my safety in God, so that his constant, unfailing love stays forever as my motivation and security. No more relying on another person’s mood or behavior to determine my self-worth. Here’s another day to training. Yes, I can!

Try Again

Really let myself go. Didn’t realize how much I was on survival mode until I put on a pair of jeans. My days have become more about stretchy pants since I lost my baby and my Mom and gram got rediagnosed with cancer at the same time. Quit my job to take care of her and now it’s time for me to take care of myself. Start again! Step by step 💪🏼 #CheerMeOn #PTSD

Small victories

Took a walk just around the block with no cane earlier. Felt so good decided to do it again. Only made it down the other corner to a neighbor’s house. Sitting on their deck. Feels so good to get outside and be around someone other than my dad. Plus they have the sweetest huskies who love me. #MightyMoment #CheerMeOn

Considering renewing my school psychologist license

I am not telling many people I know about this, but I decided to study to see if I could pass the exam to renew my school psychologist license.

I still am not able to work, as I am still working through various things and I have a lot of symptoms. I am still disabled.

However, I do want to see if I can get my brain to start performing more work/school tasks, if that makes sense. I have weird gaps in my functioning that I am hoping that EMDR will help (mostly things tied to trauma from being homeless and violations of medical rights). I still struggle to concentrate on things, and understand things. But if EMDR works like I hope, my panic attacks will be reduced significantly, I won’t have as many flashbacks, and I won’t be as dysregulated. This will obviously take time. I also have no idea what is going on with my physical health conditions.

I don’t know if I will be able to return to work any time “soon,” or if I want to return to the same field. However, it is a profession that is high in need and it’s kind of a protective factor for me, as well as a test (literally). But one step at a time.
